Grouw 93505 Manuel D'instructions page 30

Important! A weed burner operates at very
high temperatures and can easily ignite
buildings, fences, nature, etc.
If you use the weed burner, you need to be
aware of the instructions below. Treating
weeds using a � ame is an environmentally-
friendly method of weed control, but also
requires full attention and responsible use of
the equipment.
1. The weeds should not be burned, but
seared. Flame-treating weeds, i.e. brie� y
searing them, destroys the cell walls in
the leaves, causing the plant to die within
a few days.
2. Do not use in drought periods or windy
weather. Only use the weed burner if the
ground is damp or water the area before
use. Always keep � re extinguishing
equipment or a bucket of water nearby.
3. Keep clear of dry leaves or other
combustible material. Do not use the
weed burner near buildings, bushes and
cars, and ensure the � ame always points
away from � ammable objects.
4. Always monitor the � ame and never
leave a lit burner. Remember the burner
is hot after use. Always keep the burner
away from children and animals – both
during use and storage.
5. Always check for embers and
smouldering plant residues after use.
Also check the treated areas a few times
after work to ensure that there are no
embers. Once you have � nished work,
always disconnect the regulator from the
gas bottle and make sure that the weed
burner is completely cold before packing
it away.
